New class
Our new English teacher insisted us to write more than we usually do. Because we have a writing exam at the end of the course, we need practice. My resolution is writing at least a notebook a week, and do it without consulting any dictionary or translation tool. I'm pretty sure I will have more spelling and grammar mistakes. But during the exam I won't have that type of help, so I'd better try to do this way.
My class is more crowded than the previous year, but people is less participative, probably we aren't as confident with the others as we are. I suppose we will with time and work, and finally some of us will become friends.
Also, I realized my classmates' level is not as uniform as I expected, in fact is lower. I probably need to revise my own competences and be more confident about it. We made a mock exam last week and I passed the reading and the listening part without problems. We don't have the marks for the writing part, but keeping in mind the difficulty of the whole exam, I hope I will pass it too. I hope the final exam has the same level, I am very optimistic!

Our new English teacher insisted us to that we write (or encouraged us to write) more than we usually do. Because As (or Since) we have a writing exam at the end of the course, we need practice. My resolution is writing at least a one notebook entry a week, and do it without consulting any dictionary or translation tool. I'm pretty sure I will have more spelling and grammar mistakes. But during the exam I won't have that type of help, so I'd better try to do it this way.My class is more crowded than the previous year, but people is are less participative, probably we aren't as confident with the others as we are were (I think this is what you meant).

Very good Javier! Some corrections in red and suggestions to sound more natural in blue.
Notes: (1) To use "because" in this context, it needs to be a continuation of a sentence. For example: "...more than we usually do, because we have a writing exam at the end of the course and we need practice.
(2) "People" is a singular collective noun (same as la gente), but it is used as plural.
(3) "Uniform" in this context means consistent, so the level could be uniformly high or uniformly low. As you're making a comparison, it would be better to say "my classmates' level is not as high/good as I expected"
